Ugh...
I’m trying to download the new client via torrent (since my old client went to hell after the update), but after half an hour it still hasn’t started downloading. And if I download the ZIP file directly, the speed is about 100 kb/s, and it takes 19 hours.
Ouch

Launcher still not able to launch the game, getting crit errors.

if you could that would enable modders to use the full A-Z freely. At the moment we all need to rename files and its confusing a lot of people, and it would save me a lot of time explaining which files they need to rename

Sorry he´s too busy disrespecting the Players he´s providing a game for. Came at a perfect time when I was enjoying myself and was trying to find a way to donate to the efforts like I did on Turtle. Bro singlehandely saved me 100 Euros. Thanks.

Also he needs more time to deny the obvious happenings with the latest update.

He´ll be back to respond when that has been done.

Guys please revert changes back. You can fix it later.

If you see XX/20 that is because you don't have the updated Patch-5, or you don't have any of the restructured client patches

Started from launcher, downloaded launcher update, updated files. 21/20.

Was scratching my head in my Linux setup, why cant i get it to work. And then i checked the windows install (where i copied all the data to linux side). It doesnt work there either. Windows had that WDB file tweak, so cant be cached files.

Is there any other way to check if all patches are properly installed, if lets say some ADDON is reporting the max quest number on screen wrong, even if the game is fully working on latest patch ?

For some reason the launcher isn't downloading most of the "Blizzard_*" addons, leading to errors and crashing ingame on a frash download. It can be fixed by adding them from an older client if you have one.

I fixed this by changing the name of my install directory folder and then telling the launcher where it was a couple of times, not saying this is 100% the fix but it worked for me

This kinda sounds like the copy pasta. Can you make it a little longer next time though.

Does not work.
Launcher updated to 1.3.6 --> Client udpdate 2.5 GB loaded --> Launcher keeps saying "Update available!
Download incomplete. Click update to finish. "

Did you also increased NPCs rendering distance?
Seems like I can see mobs from much further away now.
